  • the dose of intravenous ibuprofen administered to the critically ill patient is 200mg and provides a mean (AUC)0-4 within about 80% to about 125% of 19.6 ⁇ g.h/ml.
  • the patients in the study met all of the following criteria: be hospitalized; have new (not chronic, within last 7 days) onset of fever, documented by temperature greater than or equal to 101.0 0 F (38.3°C) (the preferred method of temperature measurement was core. If a non-core route was used, temperature measurement should have been verified by an additional route of measurement; the route of temperature measurement used immediately before randomization was used immediately before dosing and for all temperature measurements during the treatment period); had adequate intravenous access; and understood and abided by the study requirements. Randomization was stratified on the basis of the severity of the patient's condition (critically ill or non-critically ill), at the time of randomization. At least 33% of the subjects randomized were to be critically ill (in the hospital requiring mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure, pressor support for hypotension, or both), and at least 33% were to not be critically ill.
  • test product, dose and mode of administration was intravenous ibuprofen: 100, 200 or 400 mg, intravenous; the reference product, dose and mode of administration was normal saline, 100 ml, intravenous.
  • the duration of treatment was 6 doses, one dose every 4 hours.
  • IVIb intravenous ibuprofen
  • Figures 1 , 2 and 3 present the Cmax graphically for the treatment groups, by stratum.
  • IVIb appears to be both safe and effective in reducing fever in both critically ill and non-critically ill patients.
  • Figures 5 and 6 are Tables that provides a summary of the mean arterial pressure (MAP) by treatment (i.e., critically ill vs. non-critically ill) obtained in the study of Example 1. This data is further presented in Figure 7, which graphically depicts the 48-hour MAP in critically ill patients; and in Figure 8, which graphically depicts the 48-hour MAP in non-critically ill patients.
  • MAP mean arterial pressure
  • This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single dose, crossover study of the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of ibuprofen injection (IVIb) in healthy adult volunteers. It evaluated the pharmacokinetics profile of a single dose of IVIb administered over 5-7 minutes.
  • Sequence A A single dose of IVIb and oral placebo administered concurrently on Day 1 of the Treatment Period followed by a single dose of oral ibuprofen and intravenous placebo given concurrently on Day 8 of the Treatment Period. Days 2-7 were a washout period.
  • Sequence B A single dose of oral ibuprofen and intravenous placebo administered concurrently on Day 1 of the Treatment Period followed by a single dose of IVIb and oral placebo given concurrently on Day 8 of the Treatment Period. Days 2-7 were a washout period.
  • ibuprofen 800 mg as one of:
  • IVIb intravenous ibuprofen
  • AUCO-tlast mean ratio of geometric least squares means of AUCO-tlast (mean ration 100%, with 90% confidence interval 90%- 1 12%).
  • the mean Cmax of IVIb was approximately twice that of the oral dose.
  • the median Tmax of the oral dose was 1.50 hours compared with 6.5 minutes for the intravenous infusion over 5-7 minutes, hi this study, intravenous ibuprofen (IVIb) was found to be safe and well tolerated when administered over a period of five to seven minutes.
  • the mean temperature was 100.5 ⁇ 0.12 for the placebo group and 100.4 ⁇ 0.14 for the ibuprofen treated group.
  • the difference remained significant through the 44 hour assessment; 2 hours after administration of the final dose of IVib ( Figure 5). After the IVib was discontinued, no statistically significant differences were noted between the placebo and ibuprofen groups.
  • ibuprofen delivered intravenously at a dose of 10 mg/kg (maximum 800 mg) every 6 hours for 8 doses to subjects with severe sepsis does not alter 14-day or 30-day all-cause mortality nor does it alter the rate of organ failure or organ failure reversal.
  • Ibuprofen does reduce the fever, tachycardia, tachypnea and lactic acidosis associated with severe sepsis.
  • Short term use of relatively high doses of intravenous ibuprofen does not produce clinically significant side effects or toxicity.
  • the Cmax and AUC levels obtained for the 800 IVib dose in critically ill patients is about one/half (50%) of the Cmax and AUC obtained for non-critically ill patients. It is further estimated that the 800mg IVib dose will attain a mean Cmax within 80-125% of about 60 ⁇ g/ml and an (AUC)o- t within 80-125% of about 94 ⁇ g.h/ml in critically ill patients.
  • the Cmax figure is obtained by calculating one half of the Cmax for the 800 mg IVib dose in non-critically ill patients (120 ⁇ g/ml).
  • the AUC is likewise obtained by calculating one half of the (AUC)o -t obtained for non-critically ill patients (188 ⁇ g.h/ml).
